The second I punched Enzo I instantly regretted it. It was just a collection of a lot of things that set me off and the biggest one was my dad, that motherfucker just pissed me off so bad and I think seeing Enzo and Marcus was just the spark I needed to explode. Before I could think too much more on the matter Enzo punched me in the eye........ fuck that shyt hurt like a bitch, I started to hit his ass again but the doors to the car flew opened and I was being pulled out by Marcus and Devin while Nico and Legacy grabbed Enzo.
"Not here Khalil." Devin whispered in me ear. I looked around and a small crowd was startinig to gather, some of the people had there phones out recording us. I looked at Enzo and he nodded letting me know he understood.
"Look ya'll both need to calm down, I'll take Lorenzo back to the hotel to give ya'll some time to calm down." Legacy said. I didn't wait around to see what they were going to do, I just got in the car and started it up, I guess they got the message because Marcus, Devin and Nico all jumped in the car.
"What the hell is wrong with you Khalil?" Devin asked. I didn't answer because if, I did I would cuss his little ass out and he was the last person I wanted to push away. "Yo why'd you punch Enzo?" We asked from the backseat.
"Devin chill...... ya'll can talk about it tomorrow." Nico said. After that the ride back to the hotel was silent, I kept glancing over at Marcus and saw he was pissed and knew we were going to get into it once we got back. Once we got back to the hotel Devin left without saying anything to me.I walked slowly behind Marcus until we got to our room and I braced myself for the inevitable argument.
"So I guess you're mad at me too?" I asked Marcus.
"Khalil how could you be so damn stupid?" Marcus asked looking at me pissed. I felt myself getting pissed so I started to count to ten before I spoke but he cut me off at nine. "Do realize that if somebody would've recorded that it would be on TMZ, Mediatakeout, World Star and every other news outlet. Did you even think about your job? Do you not realize the whole world is watching you?" Marcus said.
"And how do you think I would feel if someone took pictures of you and Enzo sitting close and that was plastered all over the internet?" I asked.
"So you punching your best friend would be a better headline then? Like seriously Khalil, what the hell is your problem? You lashed out at your dad, then Lorenzo, and now me." Marcus said.
"It's a lot of thing Mar I was so mad and when I saw you and Enzo together I just lost it." I said.
"Do you trust me Khalil?" Marcus asked.
"Of course I do Marcus." I replied.
'Do you trust Lorenzo?" He asked.
"Yeah I trust that nigga with my life." I said truthfully.
"Then why don't you trust us not to do anything?" Marcus asked.
"BECAUSE IT'S THE WAY HE LOOKS AT YOU! IT'S THE WAY HE'S ALWAYS STEALING GLANCES AT YOU WHEN HE THINKS NOBODY IS WATCHING! I know in my heart that you would never cheat on me but it still hurts to see ya'll together knowing how he feels about you." I said.
"Khalil who am I here with? Who did I grab when ya'll were about to fight? Who do I spend all those nights on the phone with not saying anything? Who has a key to my house? Who has a key to my heart? You do Khalil not Lorenzo, not anybody, you and only you." Marcus said walking over to me.
"All those things are true Mar....... but how can I keep denying what's right in front of me? I know you have feelings for Enzo too, and please don't say you don't because I know everything he's done for you, how he's always there to save you." I said looking into his eyes.
"Yeah he has and I do have feelings for him...... brotherly feelings. I love Lorenzo like a brother. I think I always have.... the reason I get so happy when he smiles at me is because, I like seeing him happy but it's the same kinda happiness I feel when I see Marsean and Tonya together happy. I could never love him like I love you Khalil, I've loved you ever since high school and that's never going to change." Marcus said looking me in the eyes.
"I believe you Marcus, but you need to tell Enzo. You cannot let him think he has a chance with you, you can't lead him on." I said.
"I'll tell him when you apologize...... so call him in here so we can sort through this like adults." Marcus said pulling my phone out my pocket and handing it to me. I scrolled through my contacts until I found his number and pressed call.
"What?" He said pissed.
"Look Enzo bro we need to talk." I said quietly. He didn't say anything and for a second I thought he hung up.
"Yeah we do open the door I'm coming down the hall now." He said hanging up. I got up and opened the door just as he was about to knock. He walked in and I closed the door we stood there staring at each other. "Alright talk." He said pissed.
"I'm sorry for punching you. I saw you and Marcus together and over reacted." I said avoiding eye contact.
"I'm sorry for punching you too. But before we move on there's a few things I need to get off my chest. I am so sick of being your punching bag, every since we were young you've done nothing but fuck me over time and time again. It's always been the Khalil show you've always treated me like a flunky while I treated you like a brother. If we're going to move on then I need your word that you won't fuck me over again." Enzo said looking me in the eyes.
"I never meant to make you feel that way Enzo, and you're right I've been selfish but you've been sneaky. You kept Devin's location hidden from me, you've constantly flirted with Marcus in front of me and behind my back and that needs to stop because whether you like or not Marcus is my dude and he'll continue to be my dude until the day I die." I said seriously.
"Lorenzo...... if I led you on in anyway I'm sorry. I love Khalil and he's who I want to be with." Marcus said.
"I understand....... I'm not going to sit here and say it doesn't hurt because it does but I understand. Khalil I'm sorry for everything I've done and Marcus I'll back off. Forgiven?" He asked me.
"Forgotten." I said smiling. I pulled Enzo into a brotherly hug before he walked out the room leaving me and Marcus alone, I turned to Marcus and he was smiling at me. "What's so funny?" I asked walking over to him.
"I think we just had our first fight as a couple." He said still smiling.
"I guess we did........ so make up sex?" I said smiling as I started taking my shirt off. Marcus was naked before I even got to the last button and that made my dick that much harder. As soon as my shirt came off someone started knocking on the door. It was probably Enzo or Devin and I almost didn't answer it but they kept knocking. "Hold on Marcus." I said walking to the door, I looked out the peephole and saw it was someone form the hotel probably coming to ask us to keep it down.
"Mr. Hill, we have a message for you that was left at the front desk. We tried to give it to you when you returned but didn't get the chance." He said addressing me by a fake name I used, he handed me a blank envelope. I opened it up and read it, there were only five words but they damn near stopped my heart. 'See you soon my love.' and it was signed with a kiss, I didn't even have to guess to know who it was.
"Who gave this to you?" I asked quietly so Marcus wouldn't hear me.
"It was delivered they said to give it to a you, is there something wrong sir?" The man asked me.
"Nah, can you get rid of this throw it away and if anymore come throw those away too. Thanks." I said going back in the room. I fell against the door my heart racing, there was no way she was in Miami because she was in jail back in Texas, there was no way she knew which hotel I was staying in, and there was no way which name I used. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that when it came to her, she was capable of anything........... and just when I had started getting things back on track Roseline decides to pop back up.
